Checking in took way too long. Despite a reasonable arrival of around 6:45 I noticed a long line for check in and only 2 staff members, one of which was handling the club clients.

The checkin was incredibly slow for the President's Club which I am a member. Went to the general section after 15 minutes to get check in service which was great once I got to it.

Location, location, location? - user review
The Fairmont is a gorgeous hotel and worth visiting for its landmark status, but you don't have to actually stay there to enjoy it. Being at the top of Nob Hill (a beautiful location) isolates you from other, more bustling parts of the city, such that even an impromptu trip to a coffee house is an e...

Old World Elegance - user review
The Fairmont is a shining example of Old World Elegance. The lobby is straight out of Paris, Rome, or Vienna. The rooms were spacious and the service excellent.

Maybe I just expected too much from this hotel.

Generally, the room was not very clean. Worst ...
